EK Improves Water Block Nickel Plating

by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 08/03/2011 10:38 AM | source: | 0 comment(s)

EK has relays the message that it has started to improve the quality of the nickel-plating used for covering its water blocks as a response to all the corrosion claims that have reached the company in mid-June.

The plating is used for protecting the copper water block from the corrosive agents found in water and gives the final product a distinct chrome-like lustrous shine.

However, back in June, some users have found that the plating applied by EK could fail under some particular circumstances, revealing the copper found underneath and exposing it to corrosion.

According to EK, these problems were caused by the mixing of certain types of coolant, silver coils and copper sulphate-based additives.
